Surrender Yourself by Carnage & Cluster

NOISJ-65

You may ask „Why 65? Weren’t we at label number 83 already?“ - well, the intermediate numbers ending on -5 are reserved to the veteran founders of Noisj, and sometimes producing just takes its time.

“Surrender Yourself” contains two cuts, very much chips off the same block, hypercharged with fierce noise, raw like sushi and as industrial as it gets. That said, Carnage & Cluster take the crude aesthetics of their Black Fever release “Yesteryear Venture” to its extreme. In both tracks, “Endorphin” and “Triskelion” the rabble-rousing, clamoring intro is followed by the rhythmic onslaught of deadly kicks.

Surrender yourself, resistance is futile!

A household name in the hardcore scene for over a decade, the history of the prolific Dutch duo goes back almost twice as long: Two young lads, enticed by music, infected with hardcore through Thunderdome, start practicing their DJ skills in 1997. Carnage enters the DJ booth in 2001, Cluster three years later, and in 2006 they become the hardcore unit we’re speaking of now.
